peter lena 9,242 #6 Posted June 3, 2024 @Jayoutdoors would also bet those spindles are noisy / rough , you will have choices on that recovery , know what's coming up , get a penetrating oil soak going on the bottom of that , establish oil recovery first , just let it drink in the lube . if you can get the deck to spin , especially note the ROTATIONAL COLLECTIVE PULLEY DRAG / STRAIN ,NOISE , thats the real issue . the easier freer it spins is what you want . other choice is every related bearing to that mule drive set up , lubrication failure / or lack thereof , is the backbone to these decks . only insight / suggestions , hope it works out for you , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
